HFSS15: Working with the 3D Modeler Window

The 3D Modeler window is the area where you create the model geometry. It appears to the right of the Project Manager window after you insert an HFSS design to a project.

The 3D Modeler window consists of the model view area, or grid, and the history tree, as shown below:

To open a new 3D Modeler window, do one of the following:

• Insert a new HFSS design into the current project.

• Double-click an HFSS design in the project tree.

The model you draw is saved with the current project when you click File>Save.

Objects are drawn in the 3D Modeler window. You can create 3D objects by using HFSS’s Draw menu commands or you can draw 1D and 2D objects, and then manipulate them to create 3D objects. For more information, see Drawing a Model.

You can modify the view of objects in the 3D Modeler window without changing their actual dimensions or positions. Besides menu and icon commands, you can also use Alt-Click, mouse buttons, and keyboard shortcuts.
